Android open source project. Like CyanogenMod, for example.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fingertrouble:
Same position as you on Desire Z and HAD to have Sense 3 - well after trying Unity and Affinity and another that wouldn't even boot and loads of crashes and mem issues I gave up. Yes I did the swap partition (for Leedroid/Ace but those never would install via CM recovery 5) didn't do the supercharger thing...but eventually went to G-Lite and really happy.

Sense is great but slow/laggy, even on Virtuous Sense or my stock rom...my OTA GB was slow too. Best to find or invest in a few apps or widgets and switch to a non Sense rom like G-Lite cos RAM is a real issue on the Z it seems (reason for rooting apart from the usual privacy/adware stuffs was speed, upset at seeing LOADING every time I opened my homescreen)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginobili1:
I agree... Sense-less ROMs are the best ones and they run the smoothest on Desire Z. I first took on CM7 and then moved to Bulletproof's MIUI which stopped me from selling my phone. However, even then the phone started to lag after a months use. Next step was to move to Elitemod244 which is basically based on CM7 but supercharged and ultra-fast. This stopped me from dumping my phone to get a Galaxy Nexus. :P

I would recommend that you try Elitemod244 (or the latest version if you want) and then modify it to your liking. It will take some time, but at least your phone will be fast and would work as it should instead of hanging or reloading the launcher time n time again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasirrfc:
thanks for your kind replies but the thing is i NEED sense 3.0 or 3.5 and i will run this desire HD rom if i dont get any other roms. ive already used cyangenmod already but i need sense. are there any roms which might be better than the desire HD rom? and im recently having an issue that i dont receive all text messages and some of these are lost in this particular rom. any way to fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pietfoef:
In that case i would go for Virtuous Sense, doesn't have to much bullsht in it..

And for the lost messages, there is standard an app installed in these roms that collects all your messages.

Btw.. I'm surfing xda for 2 years now daily, and today is the first time i made an account :p Really EVERYTHING about everything has been asked before i came here, so there was no need for it.

Just wanted to say this... :p
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rirozizo:
you can try any sense rom you want without any issues if you do all these tweaks i told you about... launcher reloads can be solved by making a file called "local.prop" in /data/ (if you already have the file, edit it) and put this inside it

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

and reboot... this WILL solve your problem, GUARANTEED
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Why do you need Sense that bad? We're trying to get rid of it over on the MT4GS boards.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kierren:
Just curious, what do you need Sense for?

I was losing text messages also, but I solved that by preventing the messaging apk from being closed. It's a simple setting in Cyanogenmod, but I believe that is what Riro Zizo is talking about when they say Bulletproof an app.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rirozizo:
bulletproofing apps means preventing it from getting killed... you were right

Blackout incredible has Sense 3.6 And when I apply the v6Supercharger it works pretty fine. But remember that you need to Format your SD card before you install it. It gives you extra performance. atleast it happened to me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkhaos:
I fully understand why you might want a SENSE rom.

I have tried many roms since my DZ is out of warranty, the Mimicry one was nearly the best, except it had bad performances after some weeks of usage.

And this AOSP was a android 4 rom with nice custom features, but there was a LOT i missed from SENSE. Let's just talk about the weather/clock widget, the audio player, the FM radio app, the nice interface, the perfect virtual keyboard...

Sense really offers the best user experience on that phone.

A few days ago I finally the perfect rom, you should try it: TrickDroid 4.0.0

As told in the corresponding topic on xda, you just absolutely need to enable swap because it's a full Sense 4.

And if you want some specific tweaks from AOSP, of you want to remove some things from Sense, the TrickDroid Tweaks allows you to simply do that.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GloWeX:
Hello! I just started to realize that other roms than the original is much better. I just installed the MIUI 1.9.9 rom for SGT and i like it alot. It looks great. Does anyone know any other roms that look good and are really fast? I want the fastest i can get. Cheers!

[HTC EVO 3D] backlund:
Hey everyone-

I'm looking for a way to reduce my backlight brightness further than the normal levels. I use my Evo as a night clock, but the minimum brightness still beacons a bit in a dark room. I believe this is possible, but I'm not sure what I'm missing. I tried out an app called RootDim from the market. It lets you move the slider from 0 - 255. The screen gets darker as you slide it backwards, but it stops dimming when you hit 30. Anything below that does nothing. I thought it might be a kernel issue, so I flashed the nolights kernel to test, but that didn't change anything.

I am also aware of screen filter, but that doesn't actually dim the backlight. Anyone out there no of a way to drop the minimum backlight level below 30?

EDIT: I should also mention that I'm using Android Revolution as my ROM. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Been looking for the same thing as well. I was hoping RootDim would help , but I got the same results.
[HTC EVO 3D] relgin:
Have you tried DOCK mode ? It's a built in APP on HTC EVO 3D.

Do a Search for DOCK and try it. It runs in Lanscape mode and it

switches to a night mode after a few minutes or you can switch

manually via the lower right lower corner.

Rich
[HTC EVO 3D] jmtz345:
Try screen filter
[HTC EVO 3D] backlund:
I tried that already. And I'm using Dock Mode. The problem is that even at minimum brightness, black color still lights up the room a bit. Considering that it stops dimming at < 30, I'm assuming there must be some way to get levels between 0 and 30 as well. I guess it stops at 30 as a safety net, to keep you from dimming it so much that you can't see the screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] GuySmily:
Bumping this. I feel like cyanogen let me go darker but I'm back on sense and am looking for a solution.
[HTC EVO 3D] MPWheeler:
I use the Android Assistant app, free at Google Play. It will let me take the brightness down to 11. Not sure if this would be low enough for you. The control is in Tools, Save Battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] ridleyj329:
Any update on this? Whenever I'm in a dark room my lowest brightness still seems too bright. Is there any way to get it darker?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron.a:
bump?

nobody? i tried reinstalling build-essential, gcc, c++, g++ in synaptic and it errors before finishing.. i think its cause it can't update some of the pkgs the scripts locked. i'm going start over not locking the pkgs and see if i can set up a sane build environment. =) other wise.. i mean, wtf? webtop is useless
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewartsoda:
I would suppose your problem is described in the following line:

/osh/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.3.3/cc1: error while loading shared libraries: libmpfr.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Searching for that file, or where it should be (/usr/lib) brings up nothing.

If you open Synaptic and search there are a couple of libmpfr packages, try upgrading/installing them. I don't want to because I don't care about compiling this and the last time I went around randomly upgrading packages it broke my webtop and I just got it where I want it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troycarpenter:
Don't forget that in Ubuntu/Debian that you need to install the -dev packages for many libraries if you want to compile.

I was able to compile a simple hello-world.c program after installing libmpfr-dev, which then installed/upgraded other packages.

Goodbye, Nokia Lumia 800: £400 and one month on, it didn't work out

It's only when you live with a new phone that you discover whether you like it or not. From love at first sight, Nokia's new Windows Phone offering has turned out to be not so enthralling. Want to buy a used phone?

[Windows Phone 7 General] Embiggens:
from the article-

This (strange) comment really belies how biased this 'review' is. Toss this article into the heap of fanboy posts. How is this on the guardian website, are they stooping to link-bait articles?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
What a dumb thing to say. Don't trust bing? Yeah its all a conspiracy out to brainwash you
[Windows Phone 7 General] fuzemaster:
agreed...how someone could say they trust Google over Bing is beyond me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
This is just one guys oppinion, those Luminas sold, a buch of people went out and got them and swear by them. I am a Windows fan no dout but he failed to point out what really makes WP not all that great like WM. Sure Windows Phone is better than WM in the sense that it doesn't freez up as much and it is more pretty but WM gave the user more choices and the ability to actually do useful stuff on it. I agree that Zune sucks ass and don't understand why MS went the iPhone route on it with it's lame limitations, I mean come on; are you Sh!@ing me, you can't even send or receive MMS message that include Audio/Video (Only pictures) my old crappy WM6.1 could do that and how along ago was that? Hopefuly people are right when they say to give it a chance because the OS is only 2 years old for Windows Phone sake if they really ever plan to make it in the long run. We will have to see what Tango or Apollo brings but quite frankly there is a reason why people write negative rviews about the phone, MS needs to start listening to people instead of telling what they can and can't do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Blacklac:
Is it a coincidence all the smartphone articles I see from the Guardian are negative? negative news = mass page hits from whomever you pissed off. My take...

(FWIW alot of the Guardian articles I have been linked to were RIM related, so I may only see one side of it. Lol)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Nice spin. It was fairly obvious that when the author wrote about "trust" it is about accuracy and completeness of data. I don't trust Bing, because more often than not it delivers sub-par results, whether that is an address search, or a subject-matter query. I cannot rely on Bing to give me the results I need consistently, so I go back to Google every time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
its the guardian

its complete crap. I have yet to read one article about anything worth mentioning from the guardian. It's like both the guardian and sun may as well be in tow for awful reporting and sensationalism
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
that's some wank article! - the shameful thing is some Steve Jobs' pet has written something that's shared over 1000 times combined on twitter and facebook!

Surely was written on a hung over morning or a drunken night. He is just a journalist. SEE what the actual TECHY people say - http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/why-i-dont-want-an-iphone-any-more-50006257/?tag=mncol;txt
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Hang on, this isn't odd behaviour at all. I'm the exact same way. Why?

Because again and again, Bing is wrong about stuff.

Map locations being the worst. We went to Ottawa over Christmas. I entered my sister's address into Bing maps, and it showed them as living downtown... about 30km away.

Google maps was correct, and I had to type in less info.

When I'm in my city, I go to Bing, and I type in something like "123 Cedar", it will return things like "Cedar Pine Resort" or "1-2-3 Lawn Care". Useless.

It also fails to come up with some simple results when searching for things, whereas Google seems to just know what you're looking for. Sorry, but Google is a superior product in every conceivable way. I love wp, but I never ever use Bing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
In the UK, specifically London, Bing maps is spot on, even on the inner streets of the city! Guardian's fanboy surely was in UK while reviewing the phone!

[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Microsoft's search engines are not their forte`. Even their WP7 Marketplace search engine is way sub-par and omits many results. It requires a user to be very specific about what they are trying to find. Google's search engine is Google's forte`. Google's whole business is centered on their search engine. It's natural that their search system would be better and more trustworthy.

Microsoft's forte` is the PC OS and they are world class with it. None others can compete with them...not even Apple. But Microsoft's Bing Maps and nav are better than Google's...in my opinion. And also WP7 is better than the best smartphone system, the iPhone. So Microsoft can compete in many ways. But the search engine is not one of them. They have some serious work to do to even approach Google's.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:

[Windows Phone 7 General] omohat:
I think he's got some valid points. I can't believe the single global volume setting hasn't been fixed a year after launch (how hard can it be to have separate "media" volume setting for Zune and other apps). Likewise I too don't trust the accuracy of the Bing search and so have resorted to a Google tile pinned to my start screen.

It's too easy to dismiss this as a fanboy review (some of his complaints are personal/misguided [e.g. timer app being tombstoned means it hasn't been "Mango'ised"] and won't affect everyone) but I sympathise with his whole "lack of trust" issue because I went through the same exercise with an Android phone (battery draining for no reason, slow response/lag, difficulty accessing Android market) and it's no fun when you don't want to pick up and use that device you've forked over a good amount of your own money for. Everyone who is being dismissive of this review should bear that last point in mind - this guy wasn't sent a review unit but rather went and bought one with his own cash out of excitement. I think that should get him a little respite from the "fanboi" comments.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mickfarr:
It took the reviewer 7 days, lots of googling to figure out that the "arrow" next to the artist is in fact a play button. That says it all really :o
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Lol. Agree.

I found this part interesting:

Because it's been my #1 complaint with WP7 devices since they were released. Too many of them suffer from poor sound.

I need to look for a tear down of some WP7 devices to see what type media hardware these things have in them. The sound is not cute at all, and neither is the management of volume levels for different sound types (Media, RingTone, System, Notifications, etc.).

No offense, but Bing is not better than Google Maps and Navigation. Not even close.

However, we shall see what the Nokia deal does the strengthen that...
[Windows Phone 7 General] hexcorev2:
This guy made me laugh when trying to figure out how to use the zune media player. I mean it really is not that hard to use at all, even my 4 year old nephew can use it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
No offense taken. I did the tests and came to the conclusion Bing Maps is better...or was, at the time, about 3 or 4 months ago. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] LexusFman:
Zune is bad? I never had a problem with it. This guy was obviously reaching in order to fill up white space in a dry article. He makes one or 2 good points, the rest is just bull**** and he knows it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Bing maps may provide good navigation routes, but the navigation app itself is essentially useless, and in fact is illegal to use in many areas due to requiring that you interact with the phone while your vehicle is moving.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
cnet is worse
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
Hahaha the "arrow" that is just like every "play" button on every media device/remote since the dawn of time?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
It took me a while to figure out how to do some things in that player as well, and you still cannot scrub music like on Android or iOS so the player is still rather terrible when you couple that with the bad sound output on most of the devices.

The music player acts like it's actively trying to hide things from the user. It took me a while to figure some things out myself.

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------

Law here went into effect Jan 1st.

You can't use a cell phone while in a car, period. It's basically illegal to use WP7's Navigation in this state, now... if you're driving...

Hi,

I'm on 2.3.6 GB rom Defy+ 4.5.1.134_DFP-139 retail FR.

For CM7 you need to used the nightly for DEFY+ linked in this Thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033654

[Defy General] mdt24:
Don't worry this rom (cm72-111223.0500-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip) is very stable for everyday use. Just some modifications made by the official dev team of Cyanogen Defy to improved the CM7.1... ;)
[Defy General] mikrom.cz:
CM72 nightly is fine but in few latest builds (23. 12. for example) I had camera and videos upside down.

And even if I use defy+ build on defy+ it sees right battery capacity it charge only to ~85%
[Defy General] ezantera:
Ok, I installed it. Videos and pictures are upside down, what a iritating bug :)

Everything else is just nearly perfect.

edit:

Hell, every video is upside-down. Can some good soul can tell me what version do I install without this ridicolous bugs?
[Defy General] mikrom.cz:
yes, it irrited me too, try this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20399252&postcount=14580. i think you can change these two files in latest build. (i used mentioned 13. december one)
[Defy General] ezantera:
It did not help. :(

Now I ask myself why I installed 2.3.6 in first place when I wanted CM7. Ufff, I guess too many ROMs just make me confused. I want ALL OF THEM...

Nothing, I will sit tight, maybe it come eventually some nightly that make normal quality pictures and videos...
[Defy General] [] AL []:
You might sit for a while as it seems that much of the devs' effort goes to ICS now.. Epsylon has recently commented that he will try to build a CM7 nightly every two weeks or so from now on....

I don't have a Defy+ but an orignal red lens one and I've been using cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+ (Dec.13th) nightly since its release and I can assure you that it is a very stable build [the best CM7 I've ever used] and that camera/video recorder work fine here after changing the two files as described in my previously quoted post.

So the easiest thing for you to try (if you're still on Dec 23rd nightly) is to download the Dec13th nightly from here , and replace the 2 files in their repective appropriate folder within the nightly zip before installing it; no need to bother with files permissions that way... But again: don't extract the nightly zip; just "open" the archive [right-click] with 7-zip [or winzip] and drag and drop the files overwrite the original ones.

Sorry though; I have no clue on how to fix the reported Defy+ battery charging issues.

Edit: asah! I've realized too late that you don't own a Defy+ but flashed the full sbf... and might have green lens... so in that case, you can try the above, but it's unlikely to work - sorry..
[Defy General] ezantera:
No, no. :) I dont have green lens. Everything is fine now. Thanks for extended info.
[Defy General] rjbathgate:
Thanks, I had exactly the same problem - upside down and poor quality camera.

Was running a newer nightly of CM7.2, so used Dec13th instead, with teh updated two files, and volia, cooking with gas!

Thanks!
[Defy General] royale1223:

[Defy General] [] AL []:
And you say that because??
